Matej Fusek 1751-1822

Obviously the namesake of Matej Holic, this is his maternal grandfather. His name popped out at me pretty easily. However, this is part of the trickiness of doing Slovak research. Whereas the 1863 death record was in Slovak, this death record from 1822 is in Latin.

Date of death is 15 January 1822, informed by Andreas Koslawsky (it says Idem, which means "the same" as above), name which is also given in Latin: Mathias, marital status: widower (viduur) age: 71, cause of death is Senectute or "old age." Then place. So, there is always a mixture of languages that these records have depending upon the keeper of the records and the time period.
